Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with confirmed metastatic or advanced non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage lung cancer who are not receiving systemic treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a national clinical research platform in Germany to document and analyze data on molecular biomarker testing, treatment, and outcomes for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It focuses on collecting uniform data from real-life practice to evaluate the quality of care and develop recommendations for improvement. The study will also assess quality of life and mental health aspects of patients through validated questionnaires, and establish a tissue repository for future research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of treatment effectiveness and improve care strategies for lung cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies focusing on molecular testing and real-world outcomes in lung cancer have shown promise, indicating that this approach is supported by previous research.
